Get Sleepy: Sleep meditation and stories
Another Dreamy Day with Tembo the Elephant

They're dotted about the plains, munching happily on the grass. Their dark, furry heads are large and box-like, and their ears point out sideways, below two curved horns. The word wildebeest is Dutch for wild cattle. The animal's chestnut-colored body is stocky like a cow's. But wildebeest are technically antelope.

Another Dreamy Day with Tembo the Elephant

The elephant plots a course through the middle of the grass, right through the place where the wildebeest are eating. Yet somehow, the creatures pay him no attention. They move out of his way, as if by magic. Even the creatures that have finished eating seem to look through the elephant. They're far too busy napping in the sunshine, enjoying a moment of respite on the grass.

It's odd that the elephant doesn't attract more attention. Though he's only young, he's still enormous. You're beginning to think that he's somehow invisible until you hear his name from a voice among the herd. A majestic-looking wildebeest is strolling towards you. He has a beard that seems both gray and golden. Tembo recognizes his friend, Zawadi. The name means gift in Swahili.

Zawadi says that he's very pleased to meet you. Any friend of Tembo's is a friend of the herd. The animals chat about all kinds of things, from the weather to the waterholes. It's clear that they have much in common, mainly their love of travel and adventure. Zawadi and his friends are from the Serengeti, but they migrate to different places throughout the year.

Another Dreamy Day with Tembo the Elephant

Moving in numbers as large as millions, they seek out clean water and fresh, tasty grass. They'll probably stay here for another week or so, before moving on in a northerly direction. The wildebeest are joined by other creatures, too. You see this for yourself after leaving Zawadi. Tembo identifies an antelope called an eland. It's stocky, like the wildebeest, but has a coat like golden sand.

Its horn is spiraled, like you might imagine a unicorn's to be, though this creature has two horns. Alongside the eland, there are gazelle and impala. These smaller antelope are fast and look like deer. You don't need any help in identifying the zebra. With their black and white striped bodies, you'd spot them anywhere.

All of these animals are scattered throughout the grass, eating, sleeping, sunbathing, or sitting. their splashes of color against the green and yellow plains, illuminated with sunlight. Zawadi mentions seeing a guava fruit orchard right beside the pool where Tembo is going. The elephant responds with enthusiasm to the news, though if he is hungry, he's not hungry enough to rush.
